Sheesh! Nice to see the thread move again- thanks TDCTDI!

Also nice to see the Roast Grill people were not afraid to “go bold” with the signage!

Yes, I'm sure that it's quite the topic at the gay bar (Sorry, the homocentric gathering establishment.) across the street.

Historic wooden "Covered Bridge"

Next up: Your VW at your favorite "walk-up" or "drive-up" food/ice cream stand

(The ones where you walk up to the outside window to order, no interior seating. Usually just eat in the car or they have picnic tables to eat at)

I had driven over to Topeka to buy a hat at Washburn University, because I decided to go back to school to earn a Master's of Social Work. I start on Monday! But I wanted to have a hat to wear for a cheesy back to school pic! Ha ha

So, inspired by that, the next challenge is:

Your VW next to one of the original buildings at your alma mater or current college.

What about high school for those who never went to college or their college is too far away?

I think 'your Alma mater' would qualify as high school, trade school, college, university or anything like that, IMHO.

Current challenge:
Your VW next to one of the original buildings at your Alma mater or current college.

Thanks for the summary!

Any idea how many "not completed" challenges were in the prior list? (#200 and earlier)

Might be nice to keep carrying those along separately, to give some additional options in the "slow season". Wink

I could complete #210 easy enough with a bit of driving on a weekend. #294 is in the camera as we speak if a shot from the passenger's seat on the fly is acceptable.

Sorry it is a long one, but I had fun. Mostly. Day started with me getting out my trailer to load up for the 1.5 hour haul to the signup at ropers regal beagle. Until the only brake line on my f250 that hasn't been replaced decided it was time. At least it happened in my front yard Crying or Very sad Went inside, feeling sorry for myself, smokem peace pipe, said ef it what's the worst that can happen? [ lost my truck keys that had every key except house key on it]. Rolled out the rail and took off, avoiding the interstate. That is when I realized I could finish 294. Tunnel under runway at stl lambert airport.

Went back and looked at the entire list and all non-completed challenges are the ones you listed. Now I can go back and edit that you completed the tunnel one.

Computer took a dump, lucky to send what I did before hand. Will submit this for a judges ruling. 3.5# trout I caught 30 years ago in a recent pic. No skin off of me either way.
